JD and Usha Vance Welcome Baby Boy, First Child Born to Sitting VP in 156 Years The arrival of baby Alec Neel Vance has sparked a flurry of attention, marking a rare occasion in American politics: a sitting vice president becoming a new father for the first time in over 150 years.
The Vances' decision to have another child reflects their personal views on family and population growth, echoing JD Vance's advocacy for larger family sizes as a solution to declining birth rates.
This trend towards smaller family sizes has been a subject of concern for policymakers and demographers.
